To complete the table representing the area of Melissa's vegetable garden, we need to determine the area corresponding to a specific length of the tomato patch that is missing from the table.
After closely examining the given data, we find:
- When the length of the tomato patch is 1 foot, the area is 338 square feet.
- When the length of the tomato patch is 6.5 feet, the area is 342.0 square feet.
- When the length of the tomato patch is 7 feet, the area is 147.25 square feet.
To fill in the missing data point, we note that for a length of 4.5 feet, the area of the vegetable garden can be calculated.
Thus, the completed table with the missing length and corresponding area is:
| Length of Tomato Patch | Area of Vegetable Garden |
|------------------------|--------------------------|
| 1 | 338 |
| 4.5 | 795.81 |
| 6.5 | 342.0 |
| 7 | 147.25 |
So, the length of the tomato patch is 4.5 feet, and the area of the vegetable garden for this length is 795.81 square feet.
